I had the EXACT same problem with my hood. It got painted 4 times before they could figure out why it kept bubbling around the scoop. It got to the point where I had reps from BASF come out and take samples of the paint to see what the problem was. They ended up stripping everything off the hood down to the E-coat then re-sprayed it and I haven't had a problem since. If I remember correctly, the problem was that it takes a heavy base coat (at least on OB) and since it wasn't adhering to the primer it wasn't completely dry before they sprayed the other coats of base/clear. Thus causing the paint to bubble up after being subject to heat. You also have to leave the plastic inset out for a few weeks to make sure it cures properly.
You have to go back to the same place though. Don't accept a half-ass job on their part. Make sure they strip the hood though, if not they're gonna keeping painting over paint which is going to cause the exact same problem.
